Social BlendSocial Blend has returned with our 190th episode this week, and we’re joined by Hunter Camp aka MK2Fac3 from GeeksOfDoom.com, Mark Carras from RockMyMonkey.com, and Terr Ciavarra aka MediaNox. It’s a big show, as we kick off focusing on the awesome hilarity that is WhenRickIsPresident.com and the election news in general.

But we quickly dispense with the serious political news, as we jump into the entertainment news, looking at the new trailer for the kick-ass and preposterous forthcoming movie, Iron Sky, in which Space Nazis from the Moon attack the Earth! We also discuss the works of Zack Snyder, from Sucker Punch to The Man Of Steel to Watchmen – and while on the Watchmen topic, we weigh in our opinions on the DC prequel comics, Before Watchmen.

We take a look at the current issues surrounding online file sharing, among the current climate of ACTA and SOPA, as TheOatmeal releases a comic focusing on the very issue in relation to the Game Of Thrones television series. We also pay tribute to Whitney Houston, who passed away last week, and examine the seedy practice of price gouging her material literally hours after her death.

We close out the show with the latest Doctor Who news, a story related to the intellectual property rights of Ghost Rider, as well as our WTF stories of the week, and the Countdown to the Gutsfuck of Humanity. All this and more on this week’s edition of Social Blend!

Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from cGt2099.com) and Jay Fowler (SilentJay74 from JuicySnake.com) the Social Blend is a fun, and hard-hitting, podcast, with no respect for rules.
